10. Fresh As A Daisy Filtered Water Fountain For Cats
Cats love running water, that's an undeniable fact.

So, why not pamper them in style with Dr. Harvey Karp's insights? He emphasizes the importance of hydration for pets, stating, "Cats are often more attracted to running water as it mimics a natural source, which is fresher and safer than stagnant water." One reviewer mentioned, "I much prefer this design to my previous water filter because the water is filtered BEFORE the water is returned. In my previous filter, cat hair and all sorts of gross stuff got caught in the little pump that sent the water upwards. I also like that I can put much more water in this, and still move it without water spilling everywhere."

Providing them with comforting objects can significantly ease their emotional distress." Check out this heartwarming review of how this sweet toy helped her cat cope:
"We had a loving cat for many years, & 2 years ago added a kitten. The 2 had a good relationship & it was common to find them sleeping curled up together or grooming each other. A couple months ago our oldest got cancer & we had to put him to sleep. Our 'kitten' was confused & would meow pitifully (asking where her buddy went if you ask me). She was not eating or playing like normal, either. Thank goodness for Prime! When I got this, I put it in 'their spot'-where they most often curled up together. She wasn't sure about it at first, but within 12 hours our little 'kitten' was curling up with this & purring right along with it! She stopped her 'crying', started eating & playing like normal again, & a couple weeks ago she pushed this soothing toy over the edge to the floor. We put it back a couple times, only to find it on the floor again. For now we're just leaving it on the floor in case she decides she needs that extra comfort, but I think she's moved past that stage of grief that this wonderful item helped her navigate through!"
